InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft's Macintosh Business Unit on Tuesday will announce that Office 2004 for Mac will ship the third week of May. While the release is still six weeks away, Mac users can preorder Office from several online retailers beginning Tuesday. Analysts feel that the contribution that Office makes to the Macintosh platform cannot be underestimated in Apple's push for more customers.
In an interview with MacCentral, Jessica Sommer, product manager for the Macintosh Business Unit (Mac BU), said that the code for Office 2004 would be released to manufacturing on April 14. In the next few weeks, six localized versions of Office 2004 for Mac will be released to manufacturers: French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, and Swedish.
